Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

Yes. We have added a new role, which is a supervisor role. How that will work in the future is that there will be a supervisor on the scene to say which bags that are being siphoned off we need to take a manual look at. It is a different type of experience. Ultimately, it is higher on compliance, but fewer bags get siphoned off because the technology is a big step up and we can see a totally different type of bag in front of us. On a busy day, with the X-ray machines, approximately one third of bags could be siphoned off and have to be manually checked. It will be a big step change because the same does not have to happen. In our structure, the supervisor is the person on the scene, rather than the airport police. At the moment, unless we need to take a bag and a person away, the airport police are not the people who say we need to interrogate a particular bag further and do a manual check. That is the role of a supervisor, not of an airport police member. We have approximately 100 airport police at the moment. We are looking to increase that number. An Garda Síochána is also on site and it has increased its numbers at Dublin Airport. The relationship between the airport police and An Garda Síochána is a key collaborative working relationship and a good one, between handing disruptive passengers in the terminal and landside; and working closely on drone incidents, which I mentioned previously. Airport police do not really do the work on the lanes but they play a vital role. We are looking to increase their numbers. They work closely in co-operation with An Garda Síochána.
